On this, the second ‘Go Slow’ tour, we were able to enjoy some of the best of the island’s rugged volcanic scenery, appreciating the contrasts between the different habitats such as the bird- and flower-rich Laurel forest and the dramatic ravines, and the bare rain-starved slopes of the south. The sunset from the edge of the Big Caldera in the central mountains, the wonderful boat trip, with our close encounters with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins and Cory’s Shearwater, the Gran Canarian Blue Chaffinch and the vagrant Abyssinian Roller, the echoes of past cultures in the caves of Guayadeque, and the beauty of the Botanic Garden with its Giant Lizards were just some of the many highlights. There was also time to relax and enjoy the pools in our delightful hotel overlooking the sea. Good weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and great company all made for an excellent week.

  • Proceso Histórico De Firgas (Gran Canaria)
    PROCESO HISTÓRICO DE FIRGAS (GRAN CANARIA): TERRITORIO Y ARQUITECTURA, SIGLOS XV-XX Juan Sebastián López García Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Resumen Después de la conquista de Gran Canaria (1483) se produce una nueva organización del territorio insular, donde los repartimientos de tierras y la introducción del cultivo de la caña de azúcar fueron fundamentales. Firgas posee en el siglo xvi un importante ingenio azucarero, propiedad de Tomás Rodríguez de Palenzuela, quien también funda la ermita de San Juan de Ortega. En el siglo xvii se construye el convento dominico, dentro de la jurisdicción eclesiástica de San Juan de Arucas, a la cual perteneció Firgas hasta el siglo xix. Otros cambios importantes en el territorio son la creación del municipio en 1835 y la erección de la parroquia de San Roque en 1844. En su proceso histórico, Firgas ha tenido la siguiente secuencia: núcleo azucarero de escaso desarrollo, núcleo conventual no parroquial, cabecera municipal no parroquial y cabecera municipal y parroquial. Palabras clave: núcleo azucarero, convento dominico, territorio insular, Firgas, Gran Canaria. Abstract «The historical process of Firgas (Gran Canaria): territory and architecture between the 101 fifteenth and the twentieth centuries». After the conquest of Gran Canaria (1483) a new organization of the territory of the island takes place, in which the distribution of land amongst the conquerors and the introduction of sugarcane cultivation were fundamen- tal. Firgas was in the fifteenth century the location of an important sugar mill («ingenio azucarero») owned by Tomás Rodriguez de Palenzuela, who also founded the chapel of San Juan de Ortega.

  • El Poblamiento Prehistórico En La Comarca De Arucas: Aproximación a Un Estudio Del Territorio
    EL POBLAMIENTO PREHISTÓRICO EN LA COMARCA DE ARUCAS: APROXIMACIÓN A UN ESTUDIO DEL TERRITORIO Antonio Manuel Jiménez Medina1, Pedro González Quintero2 y Juan Manuel Zamora Maldonado3 In memoriam Ángel Celso Martín de Guzmán y Guanarteme fallecido el 4 de noviembre de 1994 El estudio que exponemos, no es más que una breve aproximación a la ocupación humana prehis- tórica en un territorio muy concreto del Norte de la isla de Gran Canaria, que comprende todo el actual municipio de Arucas y se extiende hasta el Barranco de Teror, el Pico de Osorio-Lomo Riquiánez y el Barranco de Azuaje. No obstante, antes de empezar a esbozar lo que fue dicho poblamiento, creemos necesario apuntar las fuentes utilizadas para la elaboración de este trabajo, así como la metodología seguida, las hipótesis de partida y la problemática que conlleva nuestro estudio. Las fuentes utilizadas van desde las geográficas a las etnohistóricas, arqueológicas y orales, siendo éstas últimas las que mayor novedad representan y por ello presentamos, al final de este trabajo, un modelo de encuesta y de ficha, elaborado entre especialistas de diferentes disciplinas4 (psicólogos y arqueólogos). Es, igualmente cierto, que dichas fuentes presentan un número de problemas importante, pero pensamos que bien analizadas y cotejadas nos pueden dar una información muy valiosa. De hecho, muchos yacimientos sólo son conocidos por la memoria colectiva, porque hoy día, prácticamente, han desaparecido. La metodología seguida ha sido la propia de un estudio interdisciplinar del territorio, ya empleada en otros trabajos, entre ellos E. Grandío de Fraga (1987), A. Santana Santana (1992a y 1992b), P.
